In Brief
This appeal challenged a High Court's brief dismissal of a petition under Article 227 concerning whether a trial court properly allowed amendment of a plaint. The trial court partially allowed the amendment; on revision, it was fully allowed. The High Court dismissed the petition in summary form without reasons. Both parties agreed the matter should be reconsidered on merits. The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order and remitted it for a reasoned decision addressing all parties' contentions and jurisdiction questions, emphasizing that High Courts must give substantive reasons rather than cryptic dismissals when exercising Article 227 powers.
